“Fine to use if there really is no other accommodation left I town.”

Reviewed 27 December 2010

This was a fairly expensive b&b, at 65 US a night, and it really wasn't worth the money.

On the positive side it was safe and warm (very,very warm in fact) and there's a reasonable hot shower. Gladys, the owner, seems nice enough.

On the not so positive side:
1) Location. It's a good half an hour or so walk to anywhere you might need to go.
2) Dogs. A german shepherd lives here. And it barks all day long. Apparently it isn't the dog that barks all night but it sure sounded the same...
3) The Breakfast. Is rubbish. Stale bread toasted to within an inch of its life, accompanied by apricot jam and instant coffee with no offer of milk? Quite the worst breakfast we've been given in six weeks in Argentina.
4) False advertising. The room is described on hostel world as a double en suite. It isn't - it's a twin room with a private bathroom which you have to leave the bedroom to use.
5) Cleaning. Could try harder - the bathroom was cleaned once in four days, the bedroom wasn't cleaned at all and there were no bins in either room. And this isn't for environmental / recycling reasons!
6) Location. Let's put it like this, it's a good way to get some extra exercise - it's a good 30 to 40 minutes to town. Also, don't be put off by the street signs which suggest this block doesn't exist. It does - just keep on walking. And walking...

“Ended up in the bedroom in the house because the other rooms were booked”

Reviewed 21 January 2010

This place was okay. The owner is VERY, VERY friendly and we absolutely appreciated all he did for us. And from the reviews the apartments separate from the main house must be great. . . but the room in the house that we stayed in was just okay.

“Cozy self contained apt, convenient location and lovely host”

Reviewed 1 January 2010

We stayed two nights at this cozy one-bedroom apt (bedroom upstairs with kitchen and bath downstairs). There is a double bed and a set of bunk beds, so would be great value for a small family. There was a small tv and a computer which you could use to access internet (we didn't use it tho). Kitchen was fully fitted out and there was a small fridge. The host, Eduardo, was very helpful and brought us nice baked goodies for breakfast each day. The apt is an easy walk to town (about 10 min walk to center of town) and is in a pretty quiet residential neighborhood. It is located in the backyard together with another apt next door, with Eduardo's house in front.

“The best place to be with the best host there is Edouardo & Laly”

Reviewed 27 December 2009

If you want to wrent an appartment in Ushuaia Ahnen is the place. With great owners really unique in there way. Two story appartment including cable tv, internet, fully equip kitchen with washer and dryer. Close to everything, 10 minutes walk to the center. Edouardo & Laly are the best persons we`ve met on our trip.Helping out with what there`s to do around, if there questions always there to answer. He`ll even go with you around the city if you like. When it was time to go after 2 weeks I just didn`t want to go back on the road. I wanted to stay right there with Edouardo & Laly.

“Great place to stay!”

Reviewed 14 December 2008

Ahnen is a great place to stay while in Ushuaia. Edwardo (the owner) looks after everything you need and is a funny and hospitable guy to have around. We stayed in both apartments between going off hiking into the mountains behind Ushuaia.
The apartments are perfect for short or long term stays. They have a fully equipped kitchen which is good for saving money on going out for dinner every night. There is a computer in the apartments for free internet 24/7. Great to have your own space to relax. Price was about the same as some of the local B&B places but had heaps more space so really good value.
Overall, a good experience in Ushuaia.
